Re: Background for portrait

I would say "please no". That is if you want to do something different. My preference would be a grey or darker background with a flash spot (possibly gelled with colour) behind her. This is far more interesting than plain white. An out of focus background (with complementary colours) can be very effective.

Just search "portrait photography" in google images to see what I mean.
